1 Six Traits Writing Workshop WNY School Support Center UB Buffalo Public Schools Jim Collins The ELA Editing Task
2 Editing and the English Language Arts Tests, 3-8 Writing For the writing section of the test at Grades 3, 5, and 7, students complete an editing task that consists of a paragraph containing errors in capitalization and punctuation (Grade 3) or in capitalization, punctuation, grammar, and usage (Grades 5 and 7). The student completes the task by identifying and correcting the errors. Students in Grades 4, 6, and 8 will answer two extended-response questions, one in the reading section and one in the listening section. The responses to the extended-response questions will be scored for writing as well as reading. Because the Regents Examination in English does not test students in independent writing, the New York State Testing Program, which has been created to align with the Regents examination, has eliminated the independent writing prompt from the writing section of the tests at all grade levels beginning in 2006.

5 Question Formats The English Language Arts Tests contain questions with a variety of formats, including multiple-choice, shortresponse, extended-response, and editing tasks. For multiple-choice questions, students select the correct response from four answer choices. For short- and extended-response questions, students write an answer to an open-ended question. The extended responses are scored for writing as well as for reading comprehension. For the editing task, students are required to make corrections and revisions to a short piece of writing. A sample editing paragraph will be included in the test to help guide students in completing the editing task.
6 Sample Editing Task for Grade 3 Before completing the editing task, students will be guided through a similar practice editing task to make sure that they understand how to complete this part of the test. For the practice task, the students will be given time to find the errors in the paragraph. The teacher will then go through the paragraph line by line with the class to make sure that the students have identified all the errors. The students will then complete the actual editing task independently. Below is a sample of both the practice task and the editing task.
